Despite having an extended warranty the vehicle was in the shop so often it became too inconvenient to own.

2dr Hatch 115-horsepower 2.0L I45-speed manual FWD

I bought this car as a "Certified Used". I replaced the main computer twice in the first 3 months. I have replaced 02 sensors every year, sometimes up to 3 a year. Repairs are expensive and required often.
